Do you have a biz name or tagline to protect?

It’s important to trademark it.

A registered trademark gives you legal rights

for 10 years – and stops others in their tracks!

what is a registered trademark?

A registered Trademark protects your brand. It gives you legal rights to use your tagline, logo, business or program name in a certain way – and you can stop others from using it without your permission.

The purpose of a Trademark is to prevent others from copying key elements of your brand. It also tries to prevent brand confusion in the marketplace for consumers by setting brands apart.

Trademarking can appear to be deceptively easy, but it’s critical to register your mark in the right class and with a precise description based on how you plan to use it.

It can take 6-18 months and it’s not guaranteed – but it’s well worth the investment of time, energy and money when you receive legal rights for 10 years that you can renew again and again to enforce against Copycats and Swipers.

why do you need it?

If you’re passionate about your phrase or logo and see a lot of potential to use it for many years, Trademarking is one of the top ways to protect your brand. Hands down.

Not only do you gain certain legal rights in practical ways, but spiritually, this crowning achievement gives you peace and calm knowing your work is protected which supports your crown chakra.

You’ll want to Trademark your brand now so you:

Won’t find that someone beats you to the punch by trademarking the same or a similar name.

So you claim your rights now to a tagline or program name you LOVE!

So you protect your brand identity that you’ve worked so hard to build.

Keep your intellectual property safe so it’s not copied or swiped.

Uplevel your professionalism and legally protect your creative work.

Not gonna lie: Trademarking is tricky. It requires attention, accuracy and responsiveness. Don’t go it alone. You’re 50% more likely to have a Trademark granted if an attorney is involved. (Studies show it!)

ready to Trademark?

The first step is to have a Trademark Search done to identify potential conflicts.

It doesn’t make sense to file a Trademark Application if someone else already has the same or similar trademark, so a Trademark Search that goes far beyond a simple database search or internet inquiry can save you time and money before you file your mark!

Here’s how it works:

I conduct the results of the Trademark Search and then we discuss the findings.

If it looks good that there’s a strong chance your Trademark would be granted (though nothing’s guaranteed), then we move to Step 2.

If it looks bad due to existing Trademarks that might prevent the USPTO from granting yours, we STOP here – so you don’t waste your time or money.

what’s included?

The Trademark Search Package includes:

Trademark Search – I search various sources and databases to see if your desired phrase or logo is available or already taken. (The Trademark Search is for 1 phrase or logo only, so if you have multiple phrases to be searched, purchase separate Trademark Searches for each.)

Trademark Search Prep Sheet – You receive questions to think through specific information about what you want to Trademark and how you plan to use the mark.

30-Minute Trademark Search Results Call– One-on-one with Lisa to discuss the results of the Trademark Search and determine whether to file a Trademark Application.

Lisa will refer you to a trademark attorney with international expertise.)

After the Trademark Search, then the next step is to file the Trademark Application, which is submitted it to the USPTO with the proper supportive evidence, handled with love and care, and monitored it throughout the process.

Trademarking should be easy and not stressful, so all communication with the USPTO and any necessary written legal responses are fully included in the package (and you aren’t nickled and dimed along the way.)

Here’s how it works:

We work together to identify the appropriate Trademark description and class(es).
We talk by phone so you can learn what evidence is best to submit to the USPTO and how to prepare your proof of use. Then the Trademark Application is completed and filed.

As the process unfolds, all communication or clarification needed from the USPTO is handled for you, including replying to Office Actions. I answer your questions, and keep you posted about each key step throughout the 6-18 month process.

what’s included?

The Trademark Application includes:

Trademark Application Preparation & Filing – Preparation and filing of your Trademark Application, including the identification of class(es), description, and preparation of the proof of use.

“WOW! What a journey! Thank you again for everything! You really kept me level-headed through this entire Trademarking process and I am so relieved that Hustle and Flow® is now a registered trademark! I received the official document from the USPTO the other day before a dance class and I made an announcement to my team and dance students and it felt so good! Thank you so much!”

“I absolutely ADORE Lisa’s approach! We are in the midst of moving through the process of branding and trademarking my business, and I am DELIGHTED with the intuitive, kind and razor-sharp skills she has. If you need legal structures in place (and you probably do) like a Trademark Search or Trademark Application, THIS is your attorney.”

“Working with Lisa was a great investment of time and money. I was able to find out that the name I wanted to use for a program was already trademarked. This actually made my work easier because I was clear not to invest any time or money into that product name. I recommend that anyone that wants to invest in a program name or product name check it out with Lisa first, instead of putting time and energy into a name someone already has trademarked.”
